What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger

...

Beck was looking around for a certain redhead as Andre gave him a weird look. "What is your deal?"

Beck shrugged, looking rather smug. "Looking for Cat."

Andre frowned. "Why? Haven't you tortured the poor girl enough?"

"She wrote on theSlap that she is bringing a date tonight." Beck chuckled. "I'm so sure though…I mean, she's obviously not over me yet."

"Quit being such a jackass." Andre grunted. "You played her for a fool for over a month, so you don't have to rub it in."

"Don't hate the player, Andre." Beck simply said before walking off.

Andre shook his head in disgust, but then forced a smile when he saw the girl he was waiting for. "There's my Lil' Red."

Cat came up with a smile, in a cute jean mini-skirt, a white long sleeve v-neck shirt, and high heels. "Hey, Andre." She gave him a quick hug. "You have to meet my date tonight. I honestly didn't think he'd be such a gentleman." She blushed a little. "He even brought me a single pink rose."

Andre raised his eyebrows. "Well, good for him, but he better be easy on you or else he's going to deal with me…and my little friend." He held up his fist, making Cat giggle. Andre was glad Cat was laughing. "So where is your date?"

"Parking the car." Cat replied, running her fingers through her hair. She looked around the party in the parking lot of the school and sighed. "Everyone is having such a good time."

"Party of the year, of course they are." Andre agreed and then frowned. "Ex-boyfriend on your six."

Cat whimpered. "Make him go away…please."

Andre nodded and then stood in front of Beck, who was slowly walking up with a grin. "Back off, Beck. Don't start anything tonight."

"Chill, Andre." Beck smirked. "It's all good. Kitty, where's your date?"

"Don't call me that." Cat spat. "And he's coming."

"Sure, he is." Beck maneuvered his way around Andre and stood before the petite redhead, who stood her ground, not letting her ex get the best of her. "While you wait for your imaginary boyfriend to show up, let's get a drink."

"Imaginary?" A voice said from behind the three. Cat smiled as Beck and Andre turned to a 6'4'', well-built blonde haired and blue eyed young man, dressed in casual clothes. He held a stern look. "Last I checked, I'm pretty real."

Cat moved past the boys and stood next to the tall man, holding his arm. "Andre, Beck, this is John. John, this is Andre, my best friend and practically my big brother."

"Overprotective big brother, she means." Andre shook hands with John, who smiled back. "Treat my lil' sis right, man."

"Yes, sir." John chuckled. "She's a sweet, beautiful girl."

"And this is Beck…" Cat mumbled, hiding behind John, who immediately frowned.

"Oh…Beck." He said with a bit of anger. "Cat told me all about you."

Beck let go of the irony of the situation and smirked once again, only pissing the other boys off. "Dang, then Cat's definitely not over me if she talks all about me."

"No, she only mentioned you once when I asked her why she was so shy and guarded with herself." John said harshly. "She told me how you used her and then humiliated her…so may I add, Beck, that you're a dog."

"Thanks."

"Not a compliment."

Cat tugged on John's arm. "Let's go elsewhere. I see Jade and Tori over there close to the stage."

John smiled. "Sure." He looked to Andre. "Care to join us, Andre?"

Andre nodded. "Totally." And the three walked away, but Beck couldn't let Cat go just yet.

"You still think of me, Cat Valentine!" Beck called out. "I gave you the best night ever!"

Everyone stopped and looked to both Beck and Cat, who was blushing madly.

That's it.

Enough was enough.

Cat looked to John, who was ready to beat the living life out of Beck. "I'll be back." She whispered before rushing up to the stage. Everyone watched to see what she would do. When she grabbed the microphone, she took it off the stand and glared to Beck. "I'm done with this." She said with venom. "You know, the bed feels warmer sleeping here alone…you know I dream in color and do the things I want." Andre snuck up towards the stage without Cat realizing it, as she was glaring to Beck still, who narrowed his eyes at her. "You think you got the best of me, think you've had the last laugh, bet you think that everything good is gone…think you let me broken down, think that I'd come running back…baby, you don't even know me, cause you're dead wrong…"

She saw Andre have his guitar over his shoulder and ready to play with her with a grin. She smiled and then started singing again. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stand a little taller, doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone…what doesn't kill you makes a fighter, footsteps even lighter, doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone!" Cat sang her lungs out as everyone was cheering and jumping for her, leaving Beck embarrassed. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger…stronger…just me, myself, and I…what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stand a little taller, doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone…"

Suddenly Cat stepped down from the stage carefully and walked over to Beck with hatred in her eyes. "You heard I was starting over with someone new…they told you I was moving on, over you…you didn't think I'd come back, I'd come back swinging…you try to break me, but you see…WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU MAKES YOU STRONGER!" Cat sang sharply in front of Beck, making everyone scream for her to continue on and fight back against the player in the crowd, who was gritting his teeth. "Stand a little taller! Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone! Oh, no, no, no! What doesn't kill you makes a fighter! Footsteps even lighter! Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're GONE!"

Cat made a "talk-to-the-hand" motion and walked away from Beck, towards the crowd of students. "What doesn't kill you makes you STRONGER, OOOOHHHH, stronger, stronger, baby, JUST ME MYSELF AND I, what doesn't KILL you makes you STRONGER! Stand a little taller! Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone!" Cat took a seat on the edge of the stage and pointed to Beck, who clenched his fists, stepping back a few steps. "Thanks to you I got a new thing started, thanks to you, I'm not the broken-hearted, thanks to you, I'm finally thinking about me…you know, in the end, the day you left was just MY beginning…in the end…" Cat stood up onto the stage as Beck went to leave. "What doesn't kill you makes you STRONGER! YEAHHHHH!"

Cat continued on singing as she watched Beck stomp away towards his car to leave…

What Beck did to her made her stronger and a fighter.

"Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone…when I'm alone…"
